Here’s the link (note that this seems to only go to the cnn video site - can’t seem to find a direct link to the video).

Go away.
Weigh yourself before and after and let us know..

Funny how these Crubots want to try their intimidation techniques everywhere because their own has such sour personalities. Negativeness really gets tiring fast.
...Jane there are RUMORS this morning but I can’t say much since I’m in Donald’s confidences and WE ALL know loyalty is imperative in his circle....PST PST (I’ll get back)
I will try and find her name - she’s often a guest on Fox and she’s a pretty well-known democrat.
